Correlations between onsite and global networks of random number generators during group healing meditations.

INTRODUCTION: The Global Consciousness Project 2.0 (GCP 2.0) is an initiative investigating the relationship between human consciousness and the behavior of the project's random number generators (RNGs). This was explored via a series of meditation workshops led by Dr. Joe Dispenza with between 1000-2200 participants. They are run almost monthly and include meditative practices and 3 separate Coherence Healing meditations, the high points of the events. METHODS: At all of the events in the first half of 2024, a tower of 40 RNGs in GCP 2.0 devices had been placed in the meditation room, constituting a local RNG network. Their data was compared to that of the hundreds of RNGs distributed across the globe, constituting a global network. All outputs were rigorously processed and tested to ensure randomness. In this exploratory study, each of the local and global networks were analyzed for Network Coherence, a measure of coherent activity across RNGs. RESULTS: During the 15 healing meditations, a significant correlation was observed between the Network Coherence of the global and local networks, with a mean correlation of 0.27 (p < 0.01). As this occurred only during healing meditations and not at other times, it suggests the highly focused attention and/or elevated emotional state across humans in the room may have measurable global impact, demonstrating the reach of a small coherent group. Also, combining the local RNG Network Coherence across all the healing meditation periods via a Stouffer's Z score resulted in a distinctive curve when plotted, resembling an evoked response. This suggests a mechanism whereby a coherently focused signal from the people in the room evokes a response from the RNGs similar to those observed in evoked potentials in the brain.
